Happy #April. We're not fooling when we report that today is the first day of 2025 that the sun sets after 8 p.m. in #Winnipeg. Sunset is at 8:01 p.m. today and we'll get 12 hours, 56 minutes, and 32 seconds of daylight. #AprilFoolsDay #Aprilshowersbringmayflowers

We're now in for a LONG stretch of pre-7 a.m. sunsets (it rose before 7 a.m. for the two days before DST kicked in.) The sun rose at 6:58 a.m. in #Winnipeg today and will rise before 7 a.m. every day through Sept. 11. Enjoy the sunlight on your commute to work AND to home!

After two fleeting nice days, #Winnipeg is clearly back to regularly-scheduled programming when it comes to the weather. April provides a lot of daylight hours to look at heavy snow falling. We'll get 13 hours, 44 minutes, and 12 seconds today. #stillwinter

β€œWhen I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in 7 years.” - Mark Twain Today's the first day in 2025 #Winnipeg gets 14-plus hours of daylight!

When the sun's up before you are, you know #Winnipeg is nearing the endgame of gaining daylight. Today's the first day in 2025 it rose before 6 a.m. (it rose at 5:59.) It will rise before 5 a.m. every day through Aug. 1. (Also, May the Fourth be with all the nerds.) #StarWarsDay

We're now getting near the late-sunset territory #Winnipeg (and most parts of #Canada) are famous for in the spring and summer. Today's the first day of 2025 it sets after 9 p.m. in Winnipeg (it sets at 9:01.) We get 15 hours, 11 min, and 21 seconds of daylight today!

A sweet 16! Today's the first day in 2025 that #Winnipeg gets 16-plus hours of daylight. We get 16 hours, 42 seconds today, 7 hours, 55 minutes, and 19 seconds more than on the Winter Solstice!

Today was the first day of #Winnipeg's earliest possible sunrise. The sun rose at 5:19 a.m. today and will rise at that time every day through June 21. That's 3 hours and 7 minutes earlier than our latest sunrises, 8:27 a.m., from Dec. 26 through Jan. 4.

The Summer Solstice officially arrives today at 9:41 p.m. #Winnipeg will get 16 hours, 21 minutes, and seven seconds of daylight today and gain four seconds. Hope you have enjoyed our last few days of daylight gain and June so far! #SummerSolstice #Firstdayofsummer

#Winnipeg is now losing daylight (six seconds today) but don't despair. There are still plenty of long nights to enjoy, with 16-hour-plus daylight days running thru July 12 and 15-hour-plus daylight days running thru Aug. 4. Be sure to make the absolute most of them! #summer2025

So it's #August and August is the Sunday of summer. If you haven't been making the most of the longer nights, better get on it because #Winnipeg is losing daylight noticeably now. Sunset is still 9:09 p.m. tonight but at 8:13 p.m. by the end of the month.

If you didn't make the most of long summer nights, sorry, but -- YOU BLEW IT. They're gone. HOWEVER, we have ONE MORE summer weekend to enjoy before it's all over. The sun sets at 8:17 p.m. today and sets after 8 p.m. only through Sept. 6. #Winnipeg #LabourDayWeekend

The admin has moved. There is a fence in the way of his sunsets now and he has to walk to see them (his new balcony faces north.) Enough complaints, anyway. The skies were interesting tonight after a sharp switch to fall weather from yesterday. Sunset was at 8:06 p.m. #Winnipeg

The #FallEquinox took place earlier this afternoon, but #Winnipeg still gets 12-plus hours of daylight through Thursday. And then... we won't talk about what happens after then, yet. Sunset is at 7:25 p.m. today.

Yesterday was #Winnipeg's last 12-plus-hour daylight day of 2025. Today, we got 11:59:01 of daylight and this sunset was at 7:19 p.m. The rapid loss of daylight induces somewhat of a grieving period, I find, but the beautiful weather we've been having has made it easier. πŸ‚ 🍁

The admin is in #Seattle for his honeymoon with his lovely and hot wife. Here's yesterday evening's sunset from atop the Space Needle, which occurred at 6:20 p.m. We will get back to #Winnipeg-centric posts next week. #SpaceNeedle #sunsetphotography
